Chapter 817: Breaking the Seal, Ruler of Rules

The heavens and earth covered Human Mountain—this was what Su Yu had been mainly doing these past few days.

Seven days!

Each day he dispatched a single powerhouse; every time a powerhouse appeared, their aura stirred, and that was when Su Yu shifted the heavens and earth.

As for oppressing the myriad races, forcing them into submission... what a waste of time!

If I charged out in one breath, you’d still tremble in fear.

There was one advantage to this: shifting the heavens and earth always caused some commotion, and not a small one at that. Now, when a Celestial Venerable appeared, even if the disturbance was great, no one would sense it, or they’d merely think it was triggered by that Celestial Venerable’s aura stirring.

Seven days were enough for Su Yu to move the heavens and earth above Human Mountain!

This was called stealing the show by feigning one thing while doing another!

And now, the harvest had come.

Human Mountain was originally a Chaos Mountain, but it counted as one of the mountains in the Human Emperor’s domain. Ordinary people could not encroach upon it, but Su Yu had no problem—the main foundation of his Great Dao was the Human Sovereign Seal!

Thus, the Human Emperor ceded him the territory.

And so, today’s scene unfolded.

Su Yu’s heavens and earth descended directly, covering Human Mountain.

In that instant, everyone on Su Yu’s side, even those who had not yet merged with the Dao, surged in strength—power granted by Su Yu—while the myriad races saw their power instantly weakened.

One side waxed, the other waned!

In a flash, the gap was utterly widened!

And Su Yu, his voice shaking the cosmos, coldly roared: “Kill! Kill until the myriad races take the initiative to strike, until the Rule Masters of the guilty races are slain! Slaughter! Slaughter until the foundations of the myriad races in the upper realm are wiped out! Since they abandoned the lower realm, let the upper realm be abandoned too! Annihilate the myriad races first!”

Su Yu’s voice shook heaven and earth; at this moment, he was utterly cold and boundless.

“Chaos Dragon, Eight-Winged Tiger, if you two delay any longer, fishing in troubled waters... Grand Zhou King, kill them!”

In the heavens and earth, the Chaos Dragon and Eight-Winged Tiger’s faces changed drastically!

That bastard was truly terrifying.

“Kill!”

The two ancient Chaos beasts erupted instantly. With a thunderous boom, Nether Celestial and Phoenix Celestial, who were battling them, saw Nether Celestial directly coiled by the Chaos Dragon’s tail—almost in the blink of an eye,

the Chaos Dragon crushed Nether Celestial alive!

His physical body shattered into four or five pieces!

His Sea of Will had just emerged when the Chaos Dragon’s dragon breath burned it to ashes!

Here, all these people were suppressed!

The first Celestial Venerable was killed like this, almost in an instant. The gap was too vast—Nether Celestial was never strong to begin with, and on top of that, he faced the Chaos Dragon, with his power suppressed!

At this point, even the Chaos Dragon, no matter how foolish, knew that if he didn’t go all out, and Su Yu found out he and the Eight-Winged Tiger had been slacking off, he would die—really die!

And at this moment, behind the crowd, Tiangu instead felt relieved.

He had guessed it!

He hadn’t guessed the specifics, but he had sensed that Su Yu must have been prepared. Sure enough, Su Yu had never thought he would lose—everything he did was planned!

Nether Celestial was dead!

Not only that, but in the distance, Desolate Celestial roared furiously, yet his opponent was the Eight-Winged Tiger. Now the Eight-Winged Tiger had gone mad too, his eight wings flapping wildly, each tear ripping through the void.

The Eight-Winged Tiger was also going all out now!

Su Yu, that bastard, was truly insidious!

He couldn’t afford to provoke him!

Even if he had to be wounded, he had to take down at least one Celestial Venerable!

Further away, Moon Celestial and the others were being beaten until they coughed up blood, constantly flying backward. A large number of Dao Integration cultivators were swiftly slain. Great Qin King, that ruthless and decisive fellow, led Xia Longwu and his group, charging straight up Human Mountain!

Killing anyone they saw!

A massacre!

Great Qin King’s long spear danced through the air. At this moment, Celestial Venerables and Heavenly Kings were blocked; no one here could match Great Qin King. One spear, one kill. Eternals charged out in suicidal waves, only to be instantly slain!

Tiangu’s face showed grief!

Over there, Divine Empress Consort was actually held back by Southern King alone. Not only that, but Southern King’s aura was now powerful here, using his Great Dao as a whip, lashing Divine Empress Consort until she was covered in blood!

Defeated!

A complete rout!

Cries of despair instantly erupted across all of Human Mountain—hopeless wails, anguished screams, bitter howls...

Tiangu had already seen it: he saw Great Xia King leading his people toward the Immortal clan’s territory.

The people of the lower realm were in Su Yu’s hands.

If the Immortal clan in the upper realm was wiped out, then the Immortal clan... would be utterly annihilated!

Tiangu suddenly aged many years, his hair turning somewhat gray. For the first time, he felt the threat of extinction, right before his eyes—they were about to be wiped out!

In his many battles with Su Yu, he had never gained the slightest advantage!

Not even a little!

Tiangu’s back hunched even more. I knew it... I should have known. But alas, this world was not mine to command; I could not convince everyone among the myriad races. With sorrow on his face, he ignored those Celestial Venerables, paid no heed to those Heavenly Kings...

He turned his head and saw Great Qin King and Great Xia King slaughtering!

These men had fought for five hundred years, killing countless—why would they care about this?

This was a war of races!

Any race that lost would suffer this fate, and now, humanity had won!

Five hundred years ago, when the myriad races invaded the human realm, it was also a scene of devastation, with living beings nearly wiped out. A group of mansion founders stepped forward, accepted the inheritance, became Eternals, fought on all sides, killed on all sides, and preserved the human realm.

For five hundred years, great battles never ceased, skirmishes countless... too many had died!

The Demon-Suppressing Army of Great Xia Mansion had summoned veteran soldiers back five times in a row, because Great Xia Mansion had suffered heavy losses fighting across the heavens, with countless powerhouses slain.

Manpower was scarce!

All of this was brutal.

Today, a great victory!

Great Xia King and his men were all commanding generals; they showed no mercy, killing until rivers of blood flowed. The various races of the upper realm, totaling no more than fifty million, were in an instant slaughtered by these men, corpses strewn across the fields!

Countless people wailed!

Tiangu, with some sorrow in his voice, let his words echo through heaven and earth: “My Immortal clan... surrenders! Emperor Yu, I beg you to grant my Immortal clan a path to survival... Tiangu... kowtows in gratitude to Your Majesty!”

His knees could not bend.

In the hundred thousand years since the ancient era, he had led the Immortal clan in war against humanity for a hundred thousand years, never knowing such despair, such agony as today.

Immortal Clan, if we fight on, we will be annihilated!

His knees could not bend... but at this moment, he had to bend!

With a thunderous crash, Tiangu knelt to the ground, kowtowing in Su Yu's direction. "Emperor of the Immortal Clan, Tiangu, submits! I beg Your Majesty... grant my Immortal Clan a path to survival!"

He had submitted!

Whether willingly or not, at this moment, he bowed to this new Human Emperor—something that had never happened even in ancient times!

Su Yu's cold voice came: "Go kill Polong, kill Yuezhan, kill Yuqing! Only those above Dao Integration are permitted. The rest, continue the slaughter until they have killed those people. If they cannot, slaughter them all! After killing them, slaughter the myriad races of the lower realm!"

At this moment, Su Yu was utterly ruthless!

"You go kill; if you cannot, I will slaughter your people. The faster you kill, the more will live. If you kill slowly... then I will slaughter until none remain!"

Killing a Rule Lord was no simple matter.

Even though Su Yu's side had many strong warriors, killing a Rule Lord could still result in heavy losses!

At this moment, it was using a borrowed knife to kill... no, it was snatching the knife to kill!

You must go and kill!

If you do not kill, your clan will be exterminated!

Tiangu's face was full of sorrow. The next moment, he roared hoarsely: "Kill! Kill the guilty clans! Those who do not wish for extermination, follow me to kill!"

Boom!

Auras erupted. Tiangu instantly unleashed a powerful aura, vaguely approaching the Heavenly Venerate level, or even reaching that level. With a furious roar, he charged outward to kill!

"No need to stop them!"

Su Yu's voice rang out again: "Let them go. Even if they try tricks midway, it does not matter."

Su Yu remained cold.

Even if these people turned their spears midway, so what?

At this point, even if he could not completely destroy the three factions, he could still inflict heavy losses on them. Soon, Su Yu would be able to pacify them completely!

The myriad races... their last chance!

At this moment, Su Yu also hesitated: should he completely annihilate the three clans, or not?

If he annihilated them completely, he feared that the Human Emperor's side could not withstand the frenzy of the myriad races.

But if Tiangu and the others truly turned their spears and came again... Su Yu would not give them any chance to live!

At this moment, Tiangu, Dao Tianzun, Rimian, Sage Marquis, Divine Empress, and the others all abandoned their opponents, no longer caring about anything else, and swiftly charged into the distance to kill. Sage Marquis and Rimian were both full of sorrow.

"Perhaps... we should have listened to Tiangu from the start!"

Behind them, the slaughter continued.

The humans were still massacring the myriad races.

Tiangu roared hoarsely: "Faster!"

Faster!

Faster! Every second, a large number of people were being slaughtered. They still had to kill Yuezhan and the others. If they could not kill, or killed too slowly, once the fifty million behind them were slaughtered, Su Yu would massacre the lower realm!

He could do it!

Su Yu was ruthless and dark—everyone knew that!

…

At this moment, Su Yu stood in the void, looking at Baizhan who had stopped opposite him, and said calmly: "Brother Baizhan, your mind seems rather dull. Since you know I have opened Heaven, you, who have not opened Heaven, dare to compare your rear end to mine?"

Baizhan's face was icy.

Su Yu was no longer grinning as before. Now, with contempt, coldness, and disdain: "How many trump cards do you have left? Bring them all out and let me see! A man like you, even when cooperating with the guilty clans, would not lack means, nor would you fail to guard against them. Apart from one Zhou Ji, is there no one else?"

Baizhan also looked at him coldly: "Do you think... you have won?"

Su Yu laughed: "Many people have said that to me. And in the end... they were right. I really did win. Thank you!"

The next moment, Su Yu's cold shout rose again: "South King, Great Zhou King... go and capture Changqing and the others alive. I want to see them living. Before the eyes of all heavens and myriad realms, I will have them sliced into a thousand pieces, torn limb from limb bit by bit. I do not wish for rebels to die too easily!"

"Yes!"

With a furious roar, the next moment, five or six supreme powerhouses swiftly flew toward Changqing and the others. Changqing and Changmei's group had been flying toward the Gate of Hell earlier, but now their faces changed!

South King!

Not just South King, but also Great Zhou King, Lantian, and Wan Tiansheng.

When the myriad races went to fight Prison King's lineage, they had no opponents!

At this moment, the situation had completely changed!

Baizhan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and instantly opened them, divine light flashing in his eyes: "You want to defeat me? Not enough!"

Not enough!

That was Baizhan's words.

"Kill you, and everything will naturally end!"

Kill Su Yu, and everything should end.

"Your heaven and earth will collapse, and they will all die. Su Yu, you actually let them all merge into your heaven and earth—that is the path to death!"

You grew strong quickly, but you will collapse even faster.

The core is only Su Yu!

Kill Su Yu, and everything will end.

He shouted low: "Yuqing, Polong, shake off your opponents and come kill Su Yu!"

Kill Su Yu, and everything can end. No need to waste more energy.

His shout rose again: "Tiangu, if they just wait a moment, everything can end... Must you be Su Yu's pawn? Fools! He does not dare to slaughter you all. If he slaughters you all, the Human Emperor and the others will surely be assaulted by the myriad races' Rule Lords!"

At these words, the myriad races who had charged out paused slightly.

And in that instant, Su Yu waved his hand. In a flash, over a dozen Eternal powerhouses appeared, instantly exploded, and vanished without a trace!

Su Yu's face was cold, and he said nothing more.

The myriad races could try!

These over a dozen Eternals were all strong warriors left in the lower realm by various races. Now, Su Yu easily ground their bones to ash. He was utterly cold. He reached out and grabbed again, and more Eternals appeared in the void, crushed to powder by his hand!

Tiangu's eyes turned red. He roared: "Emperor Yu, we did not hesitate... Kill! What are you standing around for? Stop Polong and Yuqing!"

Su Yu was truly a ruthless man!

Baizhan spoke lightly: "Wait a moment, wait a moment, Su Yu will slaughter all the myriad races!"

Baizhan was just talking without feeling the pain!

Su Yu sneered coldly: "Baizhan, you are a heartless man, a beast without a race. Do you think the strong of the myriad races are the same? Though the myriad races are enemies of my human race, both humans and myriad races fight for their clans, not just for survival... Baizhan, you do not understand the human heart. You tell them to wait, and they must prepare for their clan's annihilation. You, a heartless beast, are worthy of contending with me in matters of the heart?"

He reached out and grabbed again, revealing a large number of Sun and Moon realm beings of the myriad races. Su Yu's cold voice rose again: "First kill the Eternals, then kill the Sun and Moon. Tiangu, opportunities will not always come. Seize the time, otherwise... soon, you may see all the Sun and Moon fall!"

"Kill!"

Tian Gu roared, and the next moment, a group of people rushed toward Chaos Mountain at top speed.

Over there, the Chaos Dragon had already bitten Wu Ji in two, chewing on him, but now it revealed a hint of coldness, looking at Tian Gu and the others charging toward it. "You..."

Boom!

The moment it spoke, a deafening explosion erupted!

Dao Tianzun, with overwhelming power, instantly surged before it, self-detonating his Dao, his flesh, everything. In his final moment, he spoke with sorrow: "Forgive me... I’m sorry... Perhaps... I should have trusted you from the start..."

He and Huang Tianzun and the others had previously agreed to stop Su Yu’s people immediately, but that brief hesitation had led to the current crisis where all races faced extinction.

It was his fault!

All his fault!

Since they had chosen Tian Gu, they should have trusted him, not doubted him.

At this moment, Dao Tianzun, knowing how hard it was to deal with the Mother Dragon and that killing her would take too long—time that might see the annihilation of all races—made a resolute decision. Perhaps... I should atone!

"The strife of all races..."

Dao Tianzun’s final figure flickered, tinged with sorrow and helplessness: "In truth... isn’t it just a struggle among humans? Whether Immortal, Divine, or Demonic... originally... they were all one... It’s just that, like Baizhan, when one becomes supreme, they break away from humanity... In the end, humans remain the strongest..."

This world was still the world of humanity.

In the struggle of the Great Dao, not to mention the River of Time, across all realms, all races had been defeated!

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed!

A top-tier Tianzun, without hesitation, self-detonated the moment he arrived. The blast shattered much of the Mother Dragon’s flesh.

She hadn’t expected that these beings, who had cowered and hesitated when fighting Su Yu’s forces, would now act so decisively against her. She was a Ruler of Order, no weakling—stronger than Yu Qing, in fact. Yu Qing was a fourth-tier, while the Mother Dragon was nearly third-tier, a top-tier fourth-tier, bordering on third-tier, or even a weak third-tier.

Still, enduring the self-detonation of a top-tier Tianzun was no small matter.

In an instant, her injuries worsened.

At that moment, the Divine Empress roared madly, her resolve absolute. She tore the hairpin from her head, which instantly transformed into a longsword. Not only that, but in the void, the phantom of the River of Time suddenly appeared!

The Divine Empress screamed, raising her sword to the sky. In an instant, an overwhelming force of the Great Dao surged into her blade!

She was channeling the power of order!

She forcibly extracted the power of the Great Dao, almost draining it dry, but at this moment, she cared nothing for that.

She could only gamble, hoping that Su Yu would keep his word, that even if they fell in battle, he would give the races one last chance.

The Divine Empress howled in fury!

Ritian Tianzun glanced at the Divine Empress, his expression tinged with apology and sorrow. He turned back toward the direction of the Human Mountain. "Empress... if the Divine Emperor returns... tell him... I did my best!"

Ritian smiled!

The next moment, a great sun suddenly appeared in the void!

As the sun emerged, Ritian’s voice echoed across the land: "Brother, lend me the power of the moon—let sun and moon illuminate the universe!"

Far away, Yueshi Tianzun had failed to escape the Human Mountain, for Su Yu had decreed that some must die, and Yueshi was among them. Now, Yueshi Tianzun suddenly struck with all his might, driving back the Eight-Winged Tiger that sought to kill him.

He smiled bitterly. "I still don’t believe it... After ten thousand years of dominance... we fell so easily!"

He didn’t believe it!

But he knew it was just a fantasy.

The next moment, a bright moon appeared, merging instantly with the great sun in the sky. As the two celestial bodies converged, a titanic force surged upward!

At this moment, this power truly rivaled that of a Ruler of Order!

"Empress... find a safe haven for our Divine Race!"

The great sun devoured the moon, and in an instant, its aura became wild and frenzied, filled with madness and resolve. In the blink of an eye—just moments after Dao Tianzun’s self-detonation, as the Mother Dragon was still roaring in fury—the sun and moon merged and appeared before her!

The Mother Dragon’s face changed. She tried to flee, but it was too late. The void around her had frozen solid!

Boom!

A thunderous explosion, far greater than Dao Tianzun’s self-detonation, erupted!

A blinding light radiated in all directions, engulfing everything. The weaker beings shut their eyes and screamed in agony. At the center of the light, the Mother Dragon let out a bloodcurdling shriek!

This was equivalent to the self-detonation of a Ruler of Order!

With a deafening roar, half her body was blown to pieces. At that moment, the Divine Empress, her eyes bloodshot and filled with tears, swung her sword, drawing upon the power of the Great Dao with wild abandon.

"Divine Sword Splits the Heavens!"

Boom!

The colossal blade descended, its radiance illuminating all realms. With a single strike, Chaos Mountain itself split apart.

For a moment, there was silence.

The Divine Empress’s hair, which had turned black earlier, now went completely white. Across from her, the Mother Dragon, half her body already shattered by Ritian and the others’ self-detonation, now bore a bloody gash across her head.

With disbelief, confusion, and doubt, her massive jaws opened slightly, and a bewildered voice emerged: "You are this strong... why didn’t you fight Su Yu?"

She was baffled!

So fierce, so powerful, so formidable—why didn’t they fight Su Yu’s side with all their might? If they had truly fought to the death, even if they couldn’t destroy Su Yu’s forces, they could have killed five or six of his Tianzun!

You are this powerful—you can even kill me—so why didn’t you dare to kill Su Yu?

We could have cooperated!

Ritian and Yueshi Tianzun, working together, could even unleash the power of a Ruler of Order. The Divine Empress herself was one. Since you are all unafraid of death, why obey Su Yu?

This, she could not understand.

Tian Gu and the others remained silent.

Why?

Because... with Su Yu, you never know what tricks he has up his sleeve. You never know where he is waiting for you. But you—everything about you is in the open!

Killing you offered hope. Killing Su Yu... might only bring despair.

The Mother Dragon’s body slowly split apart, shattered. With reluctance, she let out a final, fierce cry: "Killing me here... will only summon more Chaos Ancients... They are almost out!"

Killing her here—all the power was being devoured, swallowed by the Gate of Hell!

It was drawing forth the beings behind the Gate of Hell!

And it wasn’t just her death. Ritian and the others had fallen too, along with Dao Tianzun, and countless other powerful beings...

More and stronger beings would emerge!

This place was not far from the Gate of Hell.

At that moment, Su Yu's cold voice drifted over: "I hope a few more show up, otherwise... I'll be disappointed! I could have covered this entire realm with my heaven and earth, devoured everything you have, but I didn't... You are always so foolish! If not a few more come, how can I perfect my heaven and earth? One or two, how could that ever be enough?"

Su Yu's chilling voice struck deep fear into the heart of the Python Dragon Beast.

"You..."

Su Yu had ambition, great ambition!

He wanted to lure more ancient clans to appear!

Let them become nourishment for his heaven and earth; now he did not stop the Hell Gate from absorbing them, because the number was still too small—Su Yu wanted more Rule Masters!

"Well done!"

Su Yu's laughter rang out, and the next moment, his voice boomed like a great bell: "Jian Tian, it's time to be more aware!"

Su Yu's voice was immense!

In his heaven and earth, within the Human Sovereign Seal, Jian Tian Hou suddenly opened his eyes, and Su Yu's voice drifted over: "Suicide, or merge all your fortune into my heaven and earth—choose for yourself!"

Either way, the ancient fortune would dissipate.

The seal would also be removed.

Almost there!

Many Celestial Venerables had died!

Among the myriad races' Celestial Venerables, died were the Dark Celestial Venerable, the Dao Celestial Venerable, the Solar Corona Celestial Venerable, the Moon Celestial Venerable...

Under Bai Zhan's command, Wu Ji seemed not dead; Su Yu did not care. Red Moon and Blood Shadow were swiftly dealing with Yue Xiao and Yue Luo. Regardless, on Bai Zhan's side, aside from Chang Qing and Chang Mei, even if others advanced, it was useless.

Almost there!

At this point, it was time to unseal!

As long as the enemy's numbers decreased, even if the myriad races produced more Rule Masters, they would not dare act rashly.

At that moment, in Su Yu's heaven and earth.

Jian Tian Hou's face shifted for a moment: "You won't come to kill me yourself?"

"Are you worthy?"

Su Yu's cold voice sounded, "Two choices, quickly. You actively merge into my heaven and earth, and I will take on the fortune and the grudges of the ancient times! If you don't merge, then I only need to unseal!"

Jian Tian Hou sighed, was silent for a while, then quickly dissolved himself; waves of immense fortune power scattered within Su Yu's heaven and earth.

At that moment, a group of ancient powerhouses suddenly felt a sense of panic!

The sky was falling!

No, it seemed something was missing, yet also not.

In the lower realm, the River of Time trembled slightly; in the upper realm, the Human Sovereign Great Path suddenly erupted with a powerful force, extracting some power from the River of Time—the power of the seal!

The seal from ancient times could now disappear!

...

In the River of Time, there was a stretch that had always been shrouded in a thin film, unnoticed by anyone, but every Celestial Venerable who broke through the Dao would find it obstructed!

But today, that thin film shattered bit by bit, as the Human Sovereign Great Path swiftly drew away the power of the seal.

The originally stable river water began to flow with a rumbling sound!

Originally, there was a gap between the tributary and the main channel, but now the tributary and the main channel suddenly began to merge!

The seal—the seal that had bound the myriad realms for a hundred thousand years—was completely shattered!

...

And in Su Yu's heaven and earth.

A vast amount of fortune power merged in!

Su Yu's heaven and earth rapidly expanded and enlarged!

In the heaven and earth, the powerhouses still slaughtering suddenly sensed something; in the blink of an eye, someone's aura grew stronger.

And at that moment, from all directions, one after another, the auras of the powerhouses began to stir!

Giant Axe Hou was about to strike at Yue Luo and the others when, suddenly, halfway there, his aura violently trembled; in an instant, a giant axe appeared in the void, and Giant Axe Hou was stunned for a moment.

Celestial Venerable was actually the same as Rule Master, but without fully controlling the Great Path.

Because there was no way!

At that moment, Giant Axe Hou was bewildered and murmured, "The Axe Path... wasn't it previously controlled by Axe King?"

He was dead!

Giant Axe Hou suddenly understood this and felt some sorrow. Axe King, one of the thirty-six Human Kings, was dead!

Otherwise, even if the seal was broken, it would have nothing to do with him!

Baring his teeth, the next moment, Giant Axe Hou let out a roar, instantly merging into the heaven and earth; a powerful sense of enlightenment spread upward along the Axe Path, and in an instant, the entire Axe Path was under his control!

Boom!

A tremendous aura boiled up in the blink of an eye, and Giant Axe Hou was the first to step into the Rule Master realm.

At that moment, on Su Yu's Human Sovereign Seal, fortune instantly surged.

In the River of Time, the water rippled; a large amount of river water was devoured by Giant Axe Hou, drawing its power, instantly strengthening him by a huge margin!

Giant Axe Hou's aura shot up immediately, and he laughed wildly!

He had broken through!

He had officially entered the Rule Master realm. At this moment, he had no time to mourn for Axe King; after all, they hadn't seen each other for years. If he died, he died. If you hadn't died, wouldn't I still have no chance to enter the Rule Master realm?

At the same time, on the myriad races' side, the Desolate Celestial Venerable roared, his aura changed, boom!

A giant earth golem appeared!

On the myriad races' side, the Desolate Celestial Venerable was actually the first to step into the Rule Master realm—the first among the myriad races' powerhouses after the seal was broken, with almost no difficulty.

However, on the Immortal race's side, Yuan Sheng showed no movement at all.

Everyone was not surprised, because Yuan Sheng... walked the Immortal Emperor Great Path, and the Immortal Emperor was still alive!

Next moment, a giant dragon and a giant phoenix both began to roar.

Both sides seemed about to advance as well!

But this might not be a good thing. The paths they walked had been taken by others from the Dragon and Phoenix races in the past. Now they could advance, meaning that the Rule Master of that path from back then had fallen!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to become a Rule Master!

On one side of the heaven and earth, March looked sorrowful: "January is not dead!"

"..."

The people around him stared at him, dumbfounded.

That's your grandfather!

The way you say that!

March was helpless, sorrowful; February, that is, his father, had died.

But the Great Path was inherited by September.

And as for him, the path he walked was actually January's, yet January still lived, so... he had no reaction!

How sorrowful was that!

I can never become a Ruler of Order!

January is still alive!

Even the Giant Axe had advanced, but he had not—wasn't that sorrowful enough?

Moreover, he hadn't merged into Su Yu's world, so those who had merged into Su Yu's world had grown stronger, while he had not; the more he thought about it, the more sorrowful he became!

In the distance, Su Yu had avoided Baizhan, also surprised: "January is still alive?"

What a pity!

Then March could never advance!

This was truly a sorrowful thing!

On the Ten Thousand Races' side, even the Saint Marquis was about to advance!

Once successful, on the Ten Thousand Races' side, the Saint Marquis, Dragon, Phoenix, Desolation, and Divine Empress—except for that unlucky Yuan Sheng—it seemed all would advance: five Rulers of Order. Wouldn't that put me at a loss?

On my side, aside from the Giant Axe who had advanced, was there no one else who could advance?

The more Su Yu thought about it, the more he felt at a loss!

Just as he was thinking, a rumbling sound erupted on his side—Hongmeng!

Yes, Hongmeng, who had only recently become a Celestial Venerable, suddenly had his Great Path tremble. Indeed, his path was opened by his Dao companion, who had long since died. A Celestial Venerable was a Ruler of Order!

It had nothing to do with his recent advancement.

On Hongmeng's body, a great mountain hovered, and at this moment, Hongmeng let out a deeply wistful sound.

After countless eons, he too had stepped into the realm of Ruler of Order!

Just as this ended, further away, the Great Zhou King also wore a complex expression, his aura boiling. Two streams of Great Path power surged within him, and in an instant, his aura skyrocketed!

The Great Zhou King had legitimately risen to the Celestial Venerable realm, not merely in strength.

At this moment, he too advanced!

Su Yu was surprised: this fellow hadn't actually sealed his own cultivation; he truly hadn't reached Ruler of Order?

Only now did he attain it?

How strange!

I always thought you had sealed your realm, like the Divine Empress, but it turns out you hadn't?

On Su Yu's side, the third Ruler of Order appeared!

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Races had four Rulers of Order: Desolation, Dragon, Phoenix, and Saint Marquis. On Su Yu's side, only three had appeared so far: the Great Zhou King, the Giant Axe, and Hongmeng.

Meanwhile, on the other side, among the battling Red Moon and the others, Red Moon suddenly had her aura boil and instantly rose to the Ruler of Order realm!

Not only her, but Blood Shadow as well!

Baizhan knew some of the situation, so he also knew which people could become Rulers of Order after unsealing. Those he had left behind who became Celestial Venerables seemed to walk paths that no one else had taken.

In the blink of an eye, on that side, Changqing and Changmei also advanced instantly!

Lei Bao, amidst the battle, suddenly flashed with lightning power and advanced!

Yueluo followed suit, her Charm Dao erupting, and she advanced!

However, Yue Xiao's expression changed slightly—he did not advance, because the path he walked was essentially the Chaos Dao. At this moment, he could not advance. Yueluo had taken the Chaos Flesh path, but her main path was Charm.

In an instant, Changqing, Changmei, Yueluo, Lei Bao, Red Moon, and Blood Shadow—six powerful beings—advanced to the Ruler of Order realm. As for Wuji, who knew if he had fallen? No trace of him was seen.

On this side, six were born. Adding the seven from Su Yu's side and the Ten Thousand Races' side, in a flash, a total of thirteen new Rulers of Order had emerged from all sides!

The myriad realms had accumulated for years, and at this moment, it all erupted!

And this was not the end. Over there, Heavenly Fate Marquis suddenly sighed, with some helplessness, some sorrow—genuine sorrow: "Calculated and calculated, but miscalculated myself. The Fate Emperor... has passed away!"

His aura was boiling!

But he did not seem too happy!

The emperor of the Fate Clan was dead!

He had actually died!

Heavenly Fate carried some sorrow, unlike March, who should be secretly laughing—his grandfather was still alive.

But the Fate Clan's emperor was truly gone.

Heavenly Fate did not know how the Fate Emperor had died, but the fact that he was dead was undeniable. Unless the path changed, he could not possibly advance at this moment!

Heavenly Fate could not rejoice!

Perhaps for him it was a good thing, but for the Fate Clan... even if Su Yu brought back the Human Emperor, his Fate Clan would no longer have that Fate Emperor!

This was the fourteenth Ruler of Order!

Not far away, March was utterly envious: "Your uncle died—how satisfying!"

Damn your ancestors!

Heavenly Fate's gaze turned hostile, but March was unperturbed: "You lost him a hundred thousand years ago; you should have been prepared long ago. Stop pretending!"

Well, that was also true!

When those people disappeared back then, everyone assumed they were dead, so there was indeed some preparation.

Including the moment of true death, when the Great Path trembled... there was also some psychological readiness.

But knowing for certain that he had died still brought some sorrow.

The fourteenth Ruler of Order had appeared, seemingly reaching the limit.

Wan Tiansheng and Lan Tian were both path-openers, possessing Celestial Venerable combat power, but they did not have the ability to directly control a Great Path—their paths were not yet fully opened. So this unsealing did not help them!

The Grand Great Path was special, requiring the consumption of gates to advance, so it did not advance either.

Fatty Ball was also a self-opener and did not advance.

Nan Wang, Lanshan, and the others had all merged their paths into Su Yu's world, so unsealing had no effect on them.

Chaos Dragon and Eight-Winged Tiger were the same—they walked the Chaos Path, and their only hope was to break through beyond the Gate, or kill Yu Qing and devour the Chaos Will to advance.

On Su Yu's side, those who had merged their paths all rose a level.

Those who had not merged their paths—after unsealing, four Celestial Venerables advanced.

The Ten Thousand Races also had four.

As for Baizhan's subordinates, except for Yue Xiao, who could not break through, and Wuji, who had vanished, the remaining six all advanced. Clearly, Baizhan had prepared for this, even planning long ago which people to keep!

He had also prepared for unsealing, but when he unsealed, he certainly wanted all his subordinates to break through.

Unlike Su Yu, who had no choice—whoever defected to him, he accepted.

A hundred battles—perhaps those with no hope of advancement, he had already eliminated them long ago!

Fourteen Lords of Rules!

Add the Divine Empress, Hundred Battles, Su Yu, Martial Emperor, Zhou Ji, Yu Qing, Po Long, Death Spirit Emperor, Southern Heavenly King...

In this moment, the Lords of Rules across all realms suddenly exceeded twenty!

The accumulation of a hundred thousand years blazed forth today!

One after another, overwhelmingly powerful auras swept across heaven and earth!

Yet, sadly, Po Long could not witness it—the instant all completed their ascension, half of Po Long's body suddenly crumbled, exploded, and fell!

The Gate of Hell trembled violently!

As if another mighty being sought to emerge!

And farther away, the Southern Heavenly King suddenly cursed: "Fool, can't you wait?"

She was cursing Su Yu!

Changqing and Changmei were not yet slain—why did you unseal?

Wait a moment!

She was just about to bring her forces to kill!

They had only just encountered... good heavens, those two ascended—wasn't Su Yu setting his own mother up for a fall?

Well, the Southern King herself was already thinking of playing the mother.

And she was truly furious!

Su Yu, too impulsive—why couldn't you wait? She was nearly driven to death by Su Yu!

The leap in combat power from Heavenly Sovereign to Lord of Rules was immense; one Lord of Rules could take on several Heavenly Sovereigns—what was she to do?

Killing was not impossible.

But it would clearly cause greater losses!

Su Yu schemed and plotted—had he not foreseen this?

Don't just stare at the many Heavenly Sovereigns fallen among the myriad races and rush headlong!

...

Across from Su Yu, Hundred Battles also smiled: "You seem to have unsealed a bit early!"

On his side, suddenly many more Lords of Rules appeared.

Thus, it actually diminished Su Yu's advantage.

Moreover, on the myriad races' side, five Lords of Rules emerged at once—aside from Yuansheng and the few who died, the rest all ascended. Would these people still obey Su Yu?

Five Lords of Rules were enough to turn the tide!

Was Su Yu not worried?

"Idiot!"

Su Yu suddenly cursed, and Hundred Battles was momentarily stunned. The next moment, Su Yu roared: "By the decree of the Yu Emperor, I strip Changqing, Changmei, Leibo... and others of their ancient Marquis positions! Weaken their fortune, seize their destiny! Traitors to humanity, unforgivable sins, condemned by heaven and earth, plagued by misfortune!"

Boom!

A thunderous sound erupted; in the void, lightning suddenly flashed. Within Su Yu's realm, the Human Sovereign Seal trembled violently!

A surge of overwhelming fortune power swept toward them!

In the distance, along the Human Sovereign's Great Path, a resonance quaked and burst forth. The next moment, a voice could faintly be heard: "Granted."

Having said that, as if seizing the chance, that figure seemed to add: "What are you up to..."

Day after day stripping this and that—what are you doing?

You're driving me crazy!

At this moment, along Su Yu's fortune power, the ancient fortune power intertwined. That honest Human Sovereign seemed to transmit a will—again stripping marquis positions!

Do you think my enfeoffment is a game?

Yet the Human Sovereign still agreed.

Thus, a thunderous roar shook heaven and earth, and sounds of severance rang out. Changqing and the others suddenly screamed—their Great Paths backlashed, and the power they had just grasped turned against them!

Boom!

Their own bodies could not withstand the backlash force and directly exploded. Su Yu bellowed: "Quick, drag them into my realm... I let them ascend just to reap the rewards!"

What's the point of fusing with a Heavenly Sovereign without ascension?

Only by fusing with a Lord of Rules can one strike it rich!

At this moment, Hundred Battles's face turned utterly dark!

He had calculated a thousand times... never expected that Su Yu had colluded with the Human Sovereign across the void!

Seizing the moment just after their ascension, he stripped all their human fortune. These people were different from the Prison King—the Prison King was too strong and thus barely affected.

But they were different!

They were originally human, inheriting vast fortune power. Their marquis positions were a boost to strength and talent. When Su Yu stripped everything... these people were naturally doomed!

And this, too, was within Su Yu's calculations.

Back when he stripped the Prison King's fortune, it had little impact on the Prison King and his lineage because the Prison King himself was terrifyingly powerful, enough to sustain his clan!

Only at this moment did everyone feel the terror of fortune!

The path of fortune is ethereal and elusive!

Yet, when Su Yu devoured the bearer of ancient fortune, the Supervisor of Heaven Marquis, his own fortune became absurdly strong!

It completely suppressed Hundred Battles's side!

And precisely, Changqing and the others all held marquis positions!

At this moment, if they weren't doomed, who would be?

The Southern King was overjoyed: "Well done, good son..."

"..."

Silence fell all around. Su Yu's face stiffened—who are you calling?
